Begin your journey from Tulcea’s scenic Ivan Patzaichin promenade and set out on a full-day adventure through the Danube Delta’s most captivating landscapes. This tour combines a tranquil boat ride, cultural encounters, and a unique forest safari, offering a complete Delta experience for explorers and nature lovers alike.
Sail along Canal 36 and Garla Sireasa, where wild grapevines climb ancient willows. Drift gently through Sontea and pause at Lake Nebunu, a protected haven for herons, swans, and cormorants. Continue across Lake Fortuna, hoping to spot the iconic pelicans, before navigating through a mosaic of channels and lakes—Vacaru, Ligheanca, Catavia—en route to Mila 23. Here, you can visit the village museum, discover the stories of local kayak champions, or simply enjoy a coffee in the heart of the Delta.
The journey continues through Radacinoasele, Babina, Matita, Suez, and Merhei, eventually reaching Letea village. Disembark for a guided safari by rustic cart or 4x4 vehicle into Letea Forest, Europe’s northernmost subtropical woodland. Wander among sand dunes and ancient oaks, and with luck, spot the famed wild horses. After your forest adventure, choose a traditional lunch at a local’s home—either a fish-based feast with storceag soup and fried fish, or a chicken dish with homemade desserts. Vegetarian options are available on request. The return journey follows the old Danube and Sulina branch, passing through Crisan before arriving back in Tulcea, where your day of discovery ends.
